Print Preview PictureBox Image

SeanPress 166

I have created a form in Visual Basic including a PictureBox with a .jpg image & size set to zoom. The actual image size is A4, bit it sits perfectly within the picture box when the size is set to zoom, I have added a button for print & print preview, a print document & print preview dialog.

When I debug everything works ok but the printed page is off center & I lose part of the right hand side & bottom of the image. It is the same with the print preview, the print preview opens ok, I can change the print preview to full screen & the image resizes, but again, the preview of the image is off center to the right & bottom.

I’m new to Visual Basic, can anyone tell me what would cause the image to be off center & how I can fix the issue?

End Sub

Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
    With PrintDocument1

        .DocumentName = "Test Print of picturebox image"

        .PrinterSettings.Copies = 1

        .Print() 'trigger the print event

    End With
End Sub

Hi @SeanPress ,

The actual image size is A4... the printed page is off center & I lose part of the right hand side & bottom of the image

Conside changing the location of picture.

Private Sub PrintDocument1_PrintPage(sender As Object, e As Printing.PrintPageEventArgs) Handles PrintDocument1.PrintPage e.Graphics.DrawImage(PictureBox1.Image, 0, 0) End Sub
